At this moment, Xu Qian couldn't hide his face and looked surprised and surprised.
The result detected by the Qi-Looking Technique made him suddenly alert, and all kinds of thoughts collided with each other and sparks flew everywhere.
He quickly thought of two possibilities: First, Lang'er actually doesn't like mung bean cake, and the reason why she likes it is because she wants to please Concubine Chen.
2. She was lying, and the Qi-seeking Technique was not identified, which means she had a magic weapon to block the Qi-seeking Technique.
The first possibility is temporarily unjustified.
The second possibility is the reason why Xu Qi'an's scalp is numb and adrenaline is secreted wildly.
How could the palace maids in Jingxiu Palace have magic tools to block the qi-seeing technique?
What does she do with a magic weapon that blocks the Qi-Seeing Technique?
Unless, she needs to use this magic weapon to hide the truth in the past few days.Unless she knows she will be interrogated in the near future.
What has she done in the past few days?
She has been to the Imperial Pharmacy!
As for whether he was killed by Li Daitao, in fact, Lang'er, who was standing in front of him, was disguised as an outsider... Xu Qi'an felt that the possibility was not high, and if he had a human skin mask, he could not hide his observation.
If it is the change technique of a high-level strong man, it is even more impossible.This is the palace, and high-level strong people cannot sneak in at all.
Lord Xu?
Lang'er frowned and squinted her eyes to examine Xu Qi'an who had lost his expression management.
It is impossible to make a conclusion easily. Maybe she just doesn't like to eat mung bean cake and accidentally said what she said.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Qian did not panic to stabilize his emotions, but kept his face to a certain extent. He stared at Lang'er and said in a slightly resentful tone:
Although Miss Lang'er is a person around Concubine Chen, her temper is too big. This official has shed blood for the court and made great contributions. Miss Lang'er's attitude is so contemptuous, is shedding opinions on this official?
Lang'er glanced at him and said lightly: Lord Xu has thought too much. I am not being disrespectful and have no objection to him.
He paused and bowed: I am still in a hurry to go back to serve the concubine.
After saying that, he stepped out of the threshold and left.
Looking at the palace maid's back as she left, Xu Qi'an's heart sank into the bottom of the valley.
Just now, Lang'er still didn't lie in the feedback from the Qi-Looking Technique.
The last question was that Xu Qi'an was concealing his loss of composure, and was digging a hole and waiting for Lang'er to jump.
First of all, Lang'er was very impatient with this inquiry and disliked him and wanted to send him away as soon as possible... Xu Qi'an can confirm this.
When normal people face similar questions, they will subconsciously perfunctorily and refuse to admit it out of politeness, which constitutes a lie.
However, in the feedback given by the Qi-Watching Technique, Lang'er's emotions were extremely stable and no lies were detected.
From this, it can almost be confirmed that the palace maid has a magic weapon to block the Qi-seeking technique, and it also indirectly verified that she was guilty and deliberately used such means to evade torture.
At this point, a terrifying truth is revealed.
She is the person behind the scenes!
Concubine Chen?!
At this moment, countless details and clues emerged in Xu Qi'an's mind, and the pheromone was like boiling lake water.
I really didn't expect this... I quickly left here and reported my discovery to Mr. Wei and Huaiqing... Xu Qi'an didn't want to stay in Jingxiu Palace for a moment.
It feels like entering a barren mountain hotel in the dark night and discovering it is a haunted house.The receptionist is an evil ghost with eyes hanging on his face, rotten flesh on his face, and maggots crawling around.
The plates of food on the table are maggots, shit, rotten meat, and human heads...
Xu Qi'an was the living person who accidentally saw through the secrets of the haunted house. His scalp was numb and he just wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything. Then he quickly left before the evil ghost reacted.
I finished asking, my father-in-law, let's go back.
Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and asked to leave calmly.
yes!
The little eunuch did not doubt that he had him, and responded quite relaxedly, followed Xu Qi'an and stepped out of the threshold of the side hall.
etc!
Xu Qi'an's steps suddenly froze. If Concubine Chen was behind the scenes, then everything the queen encountered was the price that Concubine Chen was about to pay: deprive him of his position and be sent to the cold palace.
Whether the prince will be deposed is not sure... How is the prince? Xu Qian doesn't care. What he cares about is: What should I do with Lin'an?
She was very happy today because the case was about to be solved, and it would be a matter of time before the prince was acquitted.
But next, I might push her mother into the abyss with my own hands.
She should hate me when she knows this.
Compared to Huaiqing, girls like Lin'an have a worse psychological endurance. It is possible that their mother was thrown into the cold palace or even given white silk and poisoned wine.
Not to mention the emperor's favor, just speaking of position, the imperial concubine and the queen are far from each other.
The queen is the emperor's wife. Maybe she will not be sentenced to death if she kills a concubine, but what about the imperial concubine? Does the imperial concubine have such treatment?
Lord Xu, Lord Xu?
When the little eunuch saw Xu Qi'an standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but shout a few times.
Xu Qian suddenly came back to his senses and still did not think of a solution to the best of both worlds. At the same time, some confusion flashed through his heart. After learning that the person behind the scenes was Concubine Chen, he still did not solve all the questions.
Let's go back first... I won't tell Wei Yuan about this in advance. For Lin'an, I will think about it again...
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the eunuch guarding the gate looked at Xu Qi'an resentfully.
But when Xu Qi'an approached, he immediately restrained his emotions, honestly and respectfully.
By the way, you took my money and entered it. Can you help me pass it?Xu Qi'an stopped in front of the eunuch guarding the gate.
certainly!
The eunuch at the gate said helplessly: The villain has passed, but Sister Lang'er said she was not there. The slave was greedy and unwilling to return the silver bills. It is difficult to explain to you, just...
So she was prepared... Xu Qi'an nodded and was about to leave when Lang'er's shout suddenly came from behind.
Lord Xu walked slowly!
Miss Lang'er.
Xu Qi'an's spinal muscles were quietly tense, and he turned around as if nothing had happened: What's the matter?
The pretty-looking palace maid stopped and smiled faintly: The Empress wants to thank Lord Xu for breaking the Fu Concubine Case and making His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel wronged. Please go over and thank him in person.
...Xu Qi'an's muscles that had just relaxed were tense again.Perhaps it was because of the guilty thief, my scalp was a little numb.
This official also has important tasks, which is not convenient for staying. The case of Fufei is to be ordered and his responsibilities are dependent on it. The Empress does not need to thank her.He doesn't want to see Concubine Chen now.
Lord Xu is so kind.
Lang'er covered her mouth and chuckled, saying like a joke: The Empress said that if Lord Xu didn't go to see her, she would not let Lord Xu take a step out of Jingxiu Palace.
...The grass mud horse!!
Xu Qi'an's heart sank in vain, quietly spreading his soul, sensing the surroundings, and confirming that he had not received feedback from the danger signal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't tell anyone what I discovered just now, including Lang'er, she didn't notice the clue. Concubine Chen couldn't know that I had seen through her tricks. She should just simply want to thank me and act... Let's take a step back and say that this is the palace, there are big inner guards outside, Lin'an inside, and the spy sent by Emperor Jing of Yuan to supervise me. Concubine Chen couldn't and dare not do anything to me here...
Besides, I have one knife and two Li Yuchun’s cultivation level, but I am not a vegetarian.
OK, please help Miss Lang'er lead the way.
Xu Qi'an turned his head and said to the little eunuch: You can follow me too.
The two followed Lang'er in the lotus palace dress, walked through the corridor in the front yard and entered the back yard.
The main house of Jingxiu Palace is a delicately constructed two-story attic with black tiles stacked with flying eaves and horns. Twelve beasts squatting on the ridges of the four sides.
There is a lookout for viewing on the second floor, which is suitable for drinking and enjoying the scenery in spring or in clear and refreshing autumn seasons.
When he arrived at the inner courtyard, the little eunuch coughed hard and gave a reminder.
Xu Qi felt at ease and stopped in the yard.
Lang'er kept walking and entered the inner room alone. Then, Xu Qi'an caught her delicate voice: Empress, Lord Xu is here.
Concubine Chen said um, and said softly: I have something to say to Lord Xu, you all go to the outer courtyard.
Then there was Lin'an's voice, and he said in a tender voice: Ah?Will Lin'an leave too?I won't leave.
Lin'an is obedient.
……snort.
...What does Concubine Chen mean? Why do you have to hold back other people? What are you saying when you can't sit in the sun?Xu Qi'an frowned.
Immediately afterwards, Lin'an and two great palace maids in the house stepped out of the threshold and passed by Xu Qi'an. They secretly stuck out their tongues and whispered:
Remember to report to this palace later.
The little eunuch was in a dilemma and didn't know where to go, so he heard Lang'er say: The Empress said, "The rest of you retreat, are you not hearing?"
Why.The little eunuch nodded and responded, turning around and following.
Wait, Xu Qi'an called him and scolded: Your Majesty sent you to supervise me, you must have the awareness of an "instructor" and stand up straight.
Immediately, he shouted: This official is a foreign minister after all, and it is not convenient for him to meet the concubine in private. This young master is responsible for supervising this official and is in accordance with His Majesty's will.
His words were said to Lang'er on the surface, but in fact, they were to Concubine Chen inside.
After a few seconds of silence, Concubine Chen's voice came from the room: Then wait outside.
Standing far away... Xu Qi'an waved his hand.
The little eunuch retreated obediently to the distance.
Standing in the yard, Xu Qi'an pretended to tidy up his appearance, and actually took advantage of this short time to weigh the pros and cons and guess what would happen next.
If I just thanked me, there was no need to hold everyone back. In other words, what Concubine Chen said to me would not be heard by outsiders.
I asked my young father-in-law to stand farther, which was a compromise with Concubine Chen. The advantage of standing far away was that he could not hear the conversation between me and Concubine, and could clearly see our every move in the house.
This prevented Concubine Chen from pretending to be an eagle and eating a chicken, but actually falsely accusing me of bullying the concubine... Although this operation is a bit rough, I cannot help but beware.
After thinking, he entered the room and saw Concubine Chen sitting upright in a soft and beautiful palace outfit.
This was the second time Xu Qi'an saw Concubine Chen. The last time was the ancestor worship ceremony at the end of last year. He shouted at the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen, and then pretended to be loyal and saw the women of the emperor up close.
Concubine Chen has the same face shape as Lin'an, with a standard oval face, and her eyebrows, lips and nose are all very beautiful.
Judging from her appearance alone, Concubine Chen is slightly worse than the queen, but her temperament is dignified and gentle, and her affinity is stronger than that of the queen.
However, the gorgeous embroidered dresses and the complicated and expensive jewelry on their heads destroyed her affinity.
Among the women Xu Qi'an has seen, only Lin'an can control luxurious jewelry and clothes. The more luxurious she is, the stronger her charm is.
It’s like many girls are very beautiful when they don’t dress up, but once they wear heavy makeup, they look vulgar.Lin'an is the kind of woman who looks more beautiful the more beautiful the dress.
The mother and daughter are not similar at this point.
This morning, Lord Xu must have heard of the deposed queen in the court.
Concubine Chen's voice is less crisp than the girl's crispness and more gentle as a mature woman, making people feel like spring breeze.
It is known that the low-level job is known.Xu Qi'an nodded concisely.
What happened to Mr. Xu when he came to my Jingxiu Palace?
There are still some doubts in this case.
Concubine Chen said oh, smiling: What are the doubts?
This... is a humble job and has no clue yet.
The room was quiet for a short time. Concubine Chen stared at Xu Qi'an for a long time, and her smile gradually calmed down. Soon, it was like a cold frost, saying word by word:
You are lying!
These three words were like a heavy hammer hitting Xu Qi'an's heart, or like a thunder blew in his ears.
How did she know I was lying? Li Guang shot out uncontrollably in his eyes, his breathing was rapid, but he restrained all his emotions at the next moment and said in a daze:
What does the Empress mean?
You can use the qi-seeing technique to see others, and others can also use the qi-seeing technique to see you.
Concubine Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and sighed: I invite you here, just to test it, but your lies just made me unable to be lucky.Lord Xu is keen. No matter how exquisite the cases in the world are, they are all tricks for you.
Is Concubine Chen a sorcerer?!This is impossible.
Why did she confess to me? Isn’t she afraid that I will tell Emperor Jing of Yuan?
What was her purpose inviting me here?
All kinds of thoughts flashed and turned into a sigh: Empress, why bother?I can pretend not to know.
Then look back to find Wei Gong and Huaiqing to deal with you... Xu Qi'an added in his heart.
At this point, the two of them made a frank statement.
Concubine Chen's calmness surprised Xu Qi'an. He knew that this was definitely not a good thing.
When did you find out, just now?Concubine Chen took another sip of tea, calmly as if chatting.
Yes, I saw that Lang'er was pretending.
But I had some doubts before, let's talk about it.Concubine Chen smiled.
Xu Qi'an pondered: When I reviewed the story of the Fufei case, I really had many doubts. How could the Empress put the 100-day spring gift from the queen on the table for no reason? After all, this is the harem. Isn't I afraid that the prince will be drunk with aphrodisiac wine?This doesn't fit your cautious style.
On that day, Huaiqing talked to him about the experience of the queen being instigated to the cold palace, and mentioned Concubine Chen's emphasis on the position of prince and his narrow-minded and cautious style.Xu Qi'an had this doubt.
He continued: Although the queen can bribe Huang Xiaorou to set up a plan for the prince, how can she guarantee that the prince will definitely go to Qingfeng Palace?And you are the prince's biological mother, and you know that your son is better than your mother. You know that he has thoughts about Concubine Fu, so you sent Huang Xiaorou to wait for the rabbit halfway... It would be more reasonable to think about it this way.
After that, from Huang Xiaorou's body being discovered, to Bei Zhi finding clues and pointing to the queen, the traces of artificial push were too obvious.But if Huang Xiaorou disappeared, it would not be able to achieve your goal of framed the queen.
Of course, I hadn't reacted at that time, and I still felt that the queen was the most suspicious.What I can't understand is why you sent someone to tear up the income and expenditure booklet of the Imperial Pharmacy, which should be the most favorable evidence to identify the queen.Not only did he do this, he also exposed himself.
Concubine Chen shook her head. It was not an unnecessary move. It was originally the evidence I deliberately left behind. If the organizer of the case was not you, it would be one of the most useful evidence to attack the queen.
But your resurrection from the dead is completely beyond my expectations. If Huang Xiaorou's body and the booklet of the Imperial Pharmacy were discovered at the same time, the traces of guidance would be too heavy.I was afraid that you would see something, so I reported it to Your Majesty directly, so I sent someone to tear the booklet.
So you were confused at the time, but you didn't insist that the queen was wronged.Ha, if Your Majesty knew about this in advance, the effect of the Japanese Palace's cry yesterday would be greatly reduced.
Then, let me learn about the progress of the case from Lin'an, and I will put pressure on Your Majesty and send someone to assassinate you.As long as you die, the queen confesses guilty, all this will be perfect.
Xu Qi'an nodded slowly. This morning he felt that the queen was the biggest suspect in assassination and was ruthless in his heart to divorce Huaiqing.When he knew that Wei Yuan told him that the queen had pleaded guilty, he felt that there was something else in the case.
It turns out that the person who wanted to kill me was Concubine Chen. Okay, there is nothing to say. I want to divorce Lin'an.
There are two questions about Beiyi. I wonder if the Empress can answer it?
Let's hear it.Concubine Chen said lightly.
The prince is already the prince, why does the empress still want to do this?
Concubine Chen smiled, her smile was very complicated, as if she was mocking Xu Qi'an, or as if she was mocking herself:
The prince is the prince after all. If he does not ascend the throne in one day, there is a possibility of changing his master.The queen has always been the queen, and the fourth prince will always be the legitimate son.What if I tell you, what Your Majesty originally intended was the Fourth Prince?If Your Majesty hadn't known that the Queen didn't love him at all, the Fourth Prince would have been the crown prince.
Xu Qi'an keenly discovered that when Concubine Chen said this, she had both pleasure and resentment in her eyes.
But even so, after many years, the position of the prince has not changed. Isn’t the Empress too worried?
What do you know about the affairs of the court?
Concubine Chen sneered: With Wei Yuan here, the fourth prince's chance of winning will always be greater than my son.Wei Yuan always thought of holding the court alone and sweeping away the serious problems. If he wanted to show his ambitions, he would definitely push the fourth prince to the throne.
I, a woman, could not beat Wei Yuan, and could only work hard from the queen.The queen is the lord of the harem, and her mother is in the world, and she is the highest honor for a woman.This palace is also a woman, and she also jealous of the position of the queen.
Xu Qi'an knew Wei Yuan's ambitions and knew that Concubine Chen was telling the truth.
The last question is, who is behind the Empress?Xu Qi'an asked.
Concubine Chen was obviously stunned. She was silent for a long time and shook her head and laughed: I am more and more impressed by you. It seems that Lin'an accidentally dug a treasure.
How do you be sure that there is someone behind me?
Xu Qi'an's eyes drooped, looking at his toes, thinking: If the Empress had known what the uncle had done for a long time, why did she endure it for so long and not take action until now.
If the Empress only learned about the relationship between the uncle and Huang Xiaorou recently, then who told the Empress? It would definitely not be Huang Xiaorou.She can endure for so many years, and for no reason, she will not suddenly change and insist on revealing it to you.Among them, there must be someone who connects the bridge and sets the line.
In addition, the Empress knew that Bei Zhi was lying, and Si Tianjian’s qi-seeking technique was not something that ordinary people could use.Bei Zhi just guessed another possibility.
Xu Qi'an raised his head and stared at Concubine Chen's beautiful face. Your target is the queen, and the people or forces behind you are the Duke of Wei.
Concubine Chen had a smile on her face, she squinted her eyes, looked at Xu Qi'an for a long time, and suddenly said: Lord Xu, what do you think, Lin'an?
Very Nineth... Xu Qi'an felt moved and did not answer.
The prince told me that Lin'an was at the age of getting married, and I kept a secret. Then I found that since she met you, she came to Jingxiu Palace, the person she talked about the most was you.
Concubine Chen is very good at temptation: This palace has also experienced the age of a girl who is in love with her.I heard that Lord Xu will be awarded a title soon. Although the viscount is not big, it means that you have entered the aristocratic class.
This palace can promise you that within three years, you will be able to further your title and marry Lin'an to you.
The naked win over is also the reason why Concubine Chen and him are frank.
Xu Qi'an was a little hesitant.
Concubine Chen took advantage of the victory and pursued: Even if you know the secret, it is impossible to identify this palace. Lang'er was in poor health recently and had a sudden illness, and the imperial physician was not rescued.What does Lord Xu think of this result?
How could the innocent and lovely Lin'an have a mother like you? She wants to fool me when she draws a big cake... Xu Qi'an pondered: Three years have been too long, who knows whether the imperial concubine is fooling her job.
Concubine Chen frowned. As long as two years are the matter of title, the matter of being granted is of great significance.You should be clear about this.
This is not what it means to be a humble official.
Xu Qian waved his hand and showed a shy smile: I want to say that it takes three years to get married, but can I get married first?
Chapter 26: Xu Qi'an: I've made a contribution again
Are you playing tricks on this palace?
Han Bing climbed up Chen Guifei's face little by little, her expression, her eyes, and her tone were all cold.
Look, Xu Qi'an shrugged and sneered: No matter how nice the person who paints big cakes sounds, as long as he makes real efforts, he will immediately turn his back.
Fortunately, you didn't agree, otherwise I would rather be sad in Lin'an than destroy you.
Concubine Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. When she put it down, her face had returned to normal. The biggest flaw in this palace was Lang'er. As long as she was gone, there would be no evidence of death.
And the tall building of Fengqi Palace is about to collapse in a blink of an eye.The so-called good birds choose trees to live on, and Master Xu is a smart person. You know how to choose.
Xu Qian nodded in agreement: The prince is still the prince, and the queen is about to change her throne, and the empress promised to marry Lin'an to me... So I chose Duke Wei.
Concubine Chen's face suddenly stopped, and her hand holding the teacup exerted a little force. It took a long time to resist the urge to splash the hot tea on the boy's face or throw the cup.
So, Lord Xu is planning to take Lang'er away from Jingxiu Palace and kill me?
Concubine Chen stared at Xu Qi'an with her beautiful eyes. The atmosphere in the house dropped to freezing point, and an invisible murderous intent enveloped Xu Qi'an.
Xu Baipiao, who is in the God Refining Realm, did not capture the scene of the enemy's attack, but the instinct of the seventh-grade warrior is instilling a signal into him: Danger!
If she insists on taking Lang'er away, she will be burned with Concubine Chen. In this way, she will be anxious and no longer worry about this being the harem. If she attacks me, my life will not be guaranteed. Although there is Monk Shenshu here, Shenshu is my last trump card... Xu Qi'an sneered, straightened his back, with disdain between his eyebrows and eyes:
On that day, Xu Qi'an, faced tens of thousands of rebels, fought alone, killing thousands of enemies, and not falling to death.The Empress thinks, I will be afraid of a mere threat?
I am not afraid of death, so why do I fear it by death?
I am not afraid of death, but why do I fear death... Concubine Chen had obvious surprise in her eyes and nodded slowly. Well, Lord Xu is indeed a hero, and he fell into your hands...
The imperial concubine tightened the teacup in her hand, as if she was about to throw the cup as a symbol.
Suddenly, Xu Qi'an said loudly: But I am sincere to Lin'an and I don't want to see her sad.I can think that what happened today has not happened.
Even if I want to expose the imperial concubine, I have to be able to walk out of Jingxiu Palace... Xu Qi'an thought regretfully.
Concubine Chen stared at him for a moment, put down the teacup, and nodded with satisfaction: You didn't lie, it seems that you are indeed sincere to Lin'an.Since that is the case, why is Lord Xu unwilling to surrender?
Do you think I am a fool? I will die if I surrender to you. The only thing I can rely on in the capital is Wei Yuan, and Huaiqing can only be considered half. As for Lin'an, she, a princess with no power and power, cannot protect me at all.
Empress, raising a scholar is not an empty promise, but a practical action.I am loyal to Duke Wei because Duke Wei treats me with sincerity and I trust him.
After saying that, Xu Qi'an turned sideways, glanced at the little father-in-law outside the courtyard, and said: "I am helpless to the Empress, but I was thinking about how the Empress can't do anything to me."
Once there is no idea of burning all the jades and stones, then Concubine Chen will not be able to make things difficult for him anymore.
Although the young master is a minion, he is now the eyes of Emperor Jing of Yuan and can be regarded as surveillance.Everything that happened here will be conveyed to Emperor Jing of Yuan word for word.
Unless Concubine Chen kills him directly, any conspiracy and frame-up will be useless. The young father-in-law can testify for Xu Qi'an.
This is why Xu Qi'an insisted on keeping his young father-in-law.
Concubine Chen looked at him deeply, her beautiful eyes closed slightly, this palace is exhausted, you should retreat... The gate of Jingxiu Palace will always be open for you.
Retired from a humble position.
Xu Qi'an bowed and left the room.
When the young father-in-law in the yard saw him coming out, he immediately came up and asked: Lord Xu, what did the imperial concubine tell you?
Don't ask, if you ask, you won't be protected.Xu Qian said angrily.
The little father-in-law's face changed slightly.
When I walked to the outer courtyard, Lin'an sat in the pavilion, holding his chin with one hand and playing with the teacup with the other, and was bored.
There are two palace maids standing beside him.
When she saw Xu Qi'an, her round face smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her peach blossom eyes became lively. She waved her hand and said in a sweet voice:
Dog slave, come here quickly.
The dog slave shouted without any momentum, and it sounded like acting cute and coquettish.
Xu Qi'an took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and smiled as if nothing had happened: Your Highness, the humble position has come out.
Lin'an immediately asked: What did your mother say to you?
The Empress said that Your Highness is almost at the age of getting married. She asked if there were any suitable candidates for the job and recommended several young talents to her.She can help His Highness find her future husband.
Lin'an was stunned for a moment, Hongxia quietly climbed up her face and said suspiciously: Will the mother tell you this?
...Hey, why don’t you get stuck? When did you become smarter? I want to recommend myself next.Xu Qian had no choice but to say helplessly:
Hu Zhi is just kidding.
The mount willow eyebrows are upside down: Dog slave, you dare to tease me.
He pinched his waist and stared at him.
Huye is still a child and doesn’t understand what teasing is.
After framing, he spat, and thought Xu Qi'an's words were interesting and giggled, like a little hen.
Her smile is both innocent and charming, like a beautiful scenery.
Xu Qi'an laughed, and sighed in his heart.
Previously, his idea was to pretend not to know, leave Jingxiu Palace first, and then tell Wei Yuan about his discovery, so that Wei Yuan could quickly capture Lang'er and catch Concubine Chen off guard.
But because of Lin'an, he couldn't help but hesitate. Although he calmed down, he would still expose Concubine Chen without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Chen is not at a low level. It can be expected that as soon as he left, Lang'er will die of illness.In this way, Concubine Chen will have no more flaws.
Concubine Chen is a qualified concubine... Such a stupid girl in Lin'an, she doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster to grow up in the palace walls.
Looking back at Concubine Chen’s operation just now, she was really smart and summoned him to test it out without any hesitation.As a result, she really discovered the clue.
The subsequent frank statement seemed to be heart-to-heart, but in fact she was fearless because she knew that as long as Lang'er was solved, she would have no flaws, and Xu Qi'an could not take Lang'er away at all, unless she didn't want to live.
Since I have been discovered, I might as well say it generously and win my trust... and then throw out my beautiful daughter as bait. If I were a lustful person, I might have been baited at that time...
I was protected by Monk Shenshu, and I might not die on the spot, but I also exposed myself. Emperor Yuan Jing, the dog, would definitely seal me in Sangbo, but the ending still remained unchanged, and both jade and stones were burned.
After leaving Jingxiu Palace, Xu Qi'an said that there was still a priority and refused the invitation to frame Gozi chess.
My little father-in-law, I have already handled the matter in the palace. Later, when you report to Your Majesty, you can say some things, but some things that you cannot say. I will give you a few words here.Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.
When the little eunuch heard this, he put on a serious gesture, Lord Xu asked.
You must tell the Emperor everything about Jingxiu Palace.You have to say this: After asking the palace maid Lang'er of Jingxiu Palace, Lord Xu looked extremely ugly, and seemed to not want to stay any longer and didn't even drink tea.
But before Lord Xu left Jingxiu Palace, he was suddenly kept by the Imperial Concubine and invited him to the backyard... The Imperial Concubine held everyone away and said something to Lord Xu in the room for a long time.The slaves were left in the yard and were not allowed to enter. Although they could see the two in the room, they could not hear what they were saying.
After the conversation, Lord Xu left the palace with great worries.
After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, he took out five taels of silver notes from his arms and the five taels fed from the eunuchs guarding the gate of Jingxiu Palace, a total of ten taels, and handed them to his father-in-law without any fireworks.
The young master waved his hand while opening his arms: Lord Xu, you can't do it.
After collecting the money, he carefully savored Xu Qi'an's words and realized that there was no big problem. Then he nodded: OK, I will do it.
Xu Qi'an immediately left the palace, borrowed his horse from Huaiqing, who was held by Yulin Guard, and rushed back to the Kanren Yamen with a quick horse.
After being reported by the guards, he entered Haoqi Tower and came to the tea room on the seventh floor to meet guests.
Wei Yuan was not in the tea room, but in the lookout table connected to the tea room. He was sitting on a large chair with his hair loose, and a black-clothed official was holding a comb, combing his hair.
Wei Yuan waved, came over and combed his hair.
The black-clothed official handed the comb to Xu Qi'an with tactful thoughts and turned around and left the tea room.
Why did Mr. Wei comb his hair at this time?
Xu Qi'an held the comb his hair, went from head to bottom, without knotting it, and combing it to the end, thinking that he was quite elegant.
Hair in Buddhism means strands of trouble.Wei Yuan bathed in the sun, squinted his eyes, and his voice was gentle:
Once you comb your hair, the past will be written off in one stroke.
What's the meaning?
Wei Yuan today is a little strange. What does the past mean to be written off?
It’s not interesting to comb your hair, so please press the head for Duke Wei.Xu Qi'an said.
Wei Yuan smiled: Try it!
Xu Qi'an put the comb in his arms, spread his five fingers, pressed Wei Yuan's head, and gently pressed the acupoints.
Wei Yuan's breathing gradually slowed down, and the warm sunlight shone on the two of them. Here, the scenery was beautiful. Xu Qi'an squinted his eyes and looked at him, feeling that he had returned to the world and was far away from the intrigues in the palace.
not bad.Wei Yuan said with a smile.
Ah, this is the magical skill of a barber shop. I will make you a shampoo chair... Xu Qi'an coughed and said: I have something to report.
explain.
Bei Zhi has found out who is behind the scenes.
Wei Yuan opened his eyes and had not spoken for a long time.
It’s Concubine Chen!Xu Qi'an whispered: I went to Jingxiu Palace to investigate the case today and found that the palace maid Lang'er around her was the one who tore up the booklet of the Imperial Pharmacy...
He immediately told Wei Yuan everything about his discovery and the recruitment of Concubine Chen.
Wei Yuan patted his hand, signaled him to stop, got up and walked to the edge of the observation deck, pressed his hands on the guardrail, and looked into the distance. Who do you think is the power behind Concubine Chen?
How do I know... Xu Qi'an shook his head: It may be related to Si Tianjian.
This was what he thought about from the existence of the Qi-seeking Technique.
Not Si Tianjian.Wei Yuan shook his head, his tone of confidence.
It’s not Si Tianjian... Xu Qi'an reacted after a few seconds and said in surprise: Duke Wei, do you know that Concubine Chen is plotting against the Queen and you?
At first, she was cruel and dragged the prince into the water... After this case was handed over to you, I didn't continue to pay attention.Until this morning, I learned that the Queen had pleaded guilty and after hearing you talk about the whole story of the case, I guessed it was Concubine Chen.
...Xu Qi'an stared at his back for a long time. He used to think that Wei Yuan and Taoist Master Jinlian were both old silver coins. Now he found that Taoist Master Jinlian was quite pure and not as deep as Wei Yuan.
If it is not Si Tianjian, how could Concubine Chen use the Qi-seeing technique? Who else can do the Qi-seeing technique except Si Tianjian?
Xu Qi'an's heart moved, Mr. Wei, I remembered something.
A third-grade sorcerer who appeared in the Yunzhou case?Wei Yuan asked back.
Mr. Wei is extremely wise... Xu Qi'an is convinced.
I have also checked this person, but I haven't found it. Do you know what the third-grade sorcerer in Si Tianjian is called?Wei Yuan asked.
Tianji Master.Xu Qi'an heard from the king of tyrants.
The Tianji Master can block Tianji and erase all his existence and traces left by him. His parents will forget him, his wives and children will forget him, and all the written records he left will disappear.This is Tianji Master.
In addition, Tianjima can also tamper with other people's impression of him and leave vague memories in his heart, but he cannot completely recall it.
Wei Yuan looked around: During the Sangbo case, you had checked the information of the first surveillance officer, but there was no record of any historical material, and there was no word in just a few words.You should know that Emperor Wuzong was able to change history, but he could not stop the mouths of future generations, nor could he stop unofficial history.
It was the surveillance officer who erased all the information of the first surveillance officer, as if he had never existed.Even I often mistakenly think that the sect is the founder of Sitianjian and the creator of the sorcerer system.
Then, due to the fragmentation caused by the historical vacancy, I suddenly remembered that there was another first-generation supervisor.
How can I check this?Xu Qian was shocked.
He realized once again that the top powerhouses in this world were so terrible.
If you want to investigate, you have to rely on supervision.Wei Yuan said.
It makes sense, only magic can defeat magic, and Dad Wei’s idea is not wrong... Xu Qi'an nodded secretly.
But the surveillance refused.Wei Yuan sighed.
This is really an expected answer. There are many secrets in Si Tianjian. The supervisor is like an old man who keeps a secret... Xu Qian pursed his lips and asked in a curious tone:
Can Duke Wei know what the first and second grades of the warlock are called?
Wei Yuan shook his head, I have never dealt with the supervisor. Dafeng is like a game of chess. He is a chess player, and I am a chess player. We often have conflicts due to different ideas.
This is the first time Wei Yuan talked about such high-end content with Xu Qi'an.
Perhaps in Wei Yuan’s heart, surveillance is his biggest political enemy?Xu Qi'an tentatively said: Duke Wei is preparing to save the queen.
It remains to be considered whether the country's uncle is successful or not. Your Majesty likes to check and balance, and he will also think that if the queen is abolished, the prince will have no rivals. However, Your Majesty remembered some unhappy things and may not have such a calm mind unless he can doubt Concubine Chen...
The queen was still too soft and did not discuss with me in advance when she took this step.Wei Yuan's voice was helpless.
Mr. Wei’s subtext is: Queen, are you just a pig teammate?
Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up, knowing that the preparations he had made before leaving the palace were not in vain, or that he might have made a contribution.
Duke Wei, he was guilty of low-level duties and just took his own decision.
Wei Yuan turned around and frowned: What's the matter?
The result detected by the Qi-Looking Technique made him suddenly alert, and all kinds of thoughts collided with each other and sparks flew everywhere.
He quickly thought of two possibilities: First, Lang'er actually doesn't like mung bean cake, and the reason why she likes it is because she wants to please Concubine Chen.
2. She was lying, and the Qi-seeking Technique was not identified, which means she had a magic weapon to block the Qi-seeking Technique.
The first possibility is temporarily unjustified.
The second possibility is the reason why Xu Qi'an's scalp is numb and adrenaline is secreted wildly.
How could the palace maids in Jingxiu Palace have magic tools to block the qi-seeing technique?
What does she do with a magic weapon that blocks the Qi-Seeing Technique?
Unless, she needs to use this magic weapon to hide the truth in the past few days.Unless she knows she will be interrogated in the near future.
What has she done in the past few days?
She has been to the Imperial Pharmacy!
As for whether he was killed by Li Daitao, in fact, Lang'er, who was standing in front of him, was disguised as an outsider... Xu Qi'an felt that the possibility was not high, and if he had a human skin mask, he could not hide his observation.
If it is the change technique of a high-level strong man, it is even more impossible.This is the palace, and high-level strong people cannot sneak in at all.
Lord Xu?
Lang'er frowned and squinted her eyes to examine Xu Qi'an who had lost his expression management.
It is impossible to make a conclusion easily. Maybe she just doesn't like to eat mung bean cake and accidentally said what she said.
Thinking in his heart, Xu Qian did not panic to stabilize his emotions, but kept his face to a certain extent. He stared at Lang'er and said in a slightly resentful tone:
Although Miss Lang'er is a person around Concubine Chen, her temper is too big. This official has shed blood for the court and made great contributions. Miss Lang'er's attitude is so contemptuous, is shedding opinions on this official?
Lang'er glanced at him and said lightly: Lord Xu has thought too much. I am not being disrespectful and have no objection to him.
He paused and bowed: I am still in a hurry to go back to serve the concubine.
After saying that, he stepped out of the threshold and left.
Looking at the palace maid's back as she left, Xu Qi'an's heart sank into the bottom of the valley.
Just now, Lang'er still didn't lie in the feedback from the Qi-Looking Technique.
The last question was that Xu Qi'an was concealing his loss of composure, and was digging a hole and waiting for Lang'er to jump.
First of all, Lang'er was very impatient with this inquiry and disliked him and wanted to send him away as soon as possible... Xu Qi'an can confirm this.
When normal people face similar questions, they will subconsciously perfunctorily and refuse to admit it out of politeness, which constitutes a lie.
However, in the feedback given by the Qi-Watching Technique, Lang'er's emotions were extremely stable and no lies were detected.
From this, it can almost be confirmed that the palace maid has a magic weapon to block the Qi-seeking technique, and it also indirectly verified that she was guilty and deliberately used such means to evade torture.
At this point, a terrifying truth is revealed.
She is the person behind the scenes!
Concubine Chen?!
At this moment, countless details and clues emerged in Xu Qi'an's mind, and the pheromone was like boiling lake water.
I really didn't expect this... I quickly left here and reported my discovery to Mr. Wei and Huaiqing... Xu Qi'an didn't want to stay in Jingxiu Palace for a moment.
It feels like entering a barren mountain hotel in the dark night and discovering it is a haunted house.The receptionist is an evil ghost with eyes hanging on his face, rotten flesh on his face, and maggots crawling around.
The plates of food on the table are maggots, shit, rotten meat, and human heads...
Xu Qi'an was the living person who accidentally saw through the secrets of the haunted house. His scalp was numb and he just wanted to pretend that he didn't know anything. Then he quickly left before the evil ghost reacted.
I finished asking, my father-in-law, let's go back.
Xu Qi'an took a deep breath and asked to leave calmly.
yes!
The little eunuch did not doubt that he had him, and responded quite relaxedly, followed Xu Qi'an and stepped out of the threshold of the side hall.
etc!
Xu Qi'an's steps suddenly froze. If Concubine Chen was behind the scenes, then everything the queen encountered was the price that Concubine Chen was about to pay: deprive him of his position and be sent to the cold palace.
Whether the prince will be deposed is not sure... How is the prince? Xu Qian doesn't care. What he cares about is: What should I do with Lin'an?
She was very happy today because the case was about to be solved, and it would be a matter of time before the prince was acquitted.
But next, I might push her mother into the abyss with my own hands.
She should hate me when she knows this.
Compared to Huaiqing, girls like Lin'an have a worse psychological endurance. It is possible that their mother was thrown into the cold palace or even given white silk and poisoned wine.
Not to mention the emperor's favor, just speaking of position, the imperial concubine and the queen are far from each other.
The queen is the emperor's wife. Maybe she will not be sentenced to death if she kills a concubine, but what about the imperial concubine? Does the imperial concubine have such treatment?
Lord Xu, Lord Xu?
When the little eunuch saw Xu Qi'an standing there in a daze, he couldn't help but shout a few times.
Xu Qian suddenly came back to his senses and still did not think of a solution to the best of both worlds. At the same time, some confusion flashed through his heart. After learning that the person behind the scenes was Concubine Chen, he still did not solve all the questions.
Let's go back first... I won't tell Wei Yuan about this in advance. For Lin'an, I will think about it again...
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the eunuch guarding the gate looked at Xu Qi'an resentfully.
But when Xu Qi'an approached, he immediately restrained his emotions, honestly and respectfully.
By the way, you took my money and entered it. Can you help me pass it?Xu Qi'an stopped in front of the eunuch guarding the gate.
certainly!
The eunuch at the gate said helplessly: The villain has passed, but Sister Lang'er said she was not there. The slave was greedy and unwilling to return the silver bills. It is difficult to explain to you, just...
So she was prepared... Xu Qi'an nodded and was about to leave when Lang'er's shout suddenly came from behind.
Lord Xu walked slowly!
Miss Lang'er.
Xu Qi'an's spinal muscles were quietly tense, and he turned around as if nothing had happened: What's the matter?
The pretty-looking palace maid stopped and smiled faintly: The Empress wants to thank Lord Xu for breaking the Fu Concubine Case and making His Royal Highness the Crown Prince feel wronged. Please go over and thank him in person.
...Xu Qi'an's muscles that had just relaxed were tense again.Perhaps it was because of the guilty thief, my scalp was a little numb.
This official also has important tasks, which is not convenient for staying. The case of Fufei is to be ordered and his responsibilities are dependent on it. The Empress does not need to thank her.He doesn't want to see Concubine Chen now.
Lord Xu is so kind.
Lang'er covered her mouth and chuckled, saying like a joke: The Empress said that if Lord Xu didn't go to see her, she would not let Lord Xu take a step out of Jingxiu Palace.
...The grass mud horse!!
Xu Qi'an's heart sank in vain, quietly spreading his soul, sensing the surroundings, and confirming that he had not received feedback from the danger signal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
I didn't tell anyone what I discovered just now, including Lang'er, she didn't notice the clue. Concubine Chen couldn't know that I had seen through her tricks. She should just simply want to thank me and act... Let's take a step back and say that this is the palace, there are big inner guards outside, Lin'an inside, and the spy sent by Emperor Jing of Yuan to supervise me. Concubine Chen couldn't and dare not do anything to me here...
Besides, I have one knife and two Li Yuchun’s cultivation level, but I am not a vegetarian.
OK, please help Miss Lang'er lead the way.
Xu Qi'an turned his head and said to the little eunuch: You can follow me too.
The two followed Lang'er in the lotus palace dress, walked through the corridor in the front yard and entered the back yard.
The main house of Jingxiu Palace is a delicately constructed two-story attic with black tiles stacked with flying eaves and horns. Twelve beasts squatting on the ridges of the four sides.
There is a lookout for viewing on the second floor, which is suitable for drinking and enjoying the scenery in spring or in clear and refreshing autumn seasons.
When he arrived at the inner courtyard, the little eunuch coughed hard and gave a reminder.
Xu Qi felt at ease and stopped in the yard.
Lang'er kept walking and entered the inner room alone. Then, Xu Qi'an caught her delicate voice: Empress, Lord Xu is here.
Concubine Chen said um, and said softly: I have something to say to Lord Xu, you all go to the outer courtyard.
Then there was Lin'an's voice, and he said in a tender voice: Ah?Will Lin'an leave too?I won't leave.
Lin'an is obedient.
……snort.
...What does Concubine Chen mean? Why do you have to hold back other people? What are you saying when you can't sit in the sun?Xu Qi'an frowned.
Immediately afterwards, Lin'an and two great palace maids in the house stepped out of the threshold and passed by Xu Qi'an. They secretly stuck out their tongues and whispered:
Remember to report to this palace later.
The little eunuch was in a dilemma and didn't know where to go, so he heard Lang'er say: The Empress said, "The rest of you retreat, are you not hearing?"
Why.The little eunuch nodded and responded, turning around and following.
Wait, Xu Qi'an called him and scolded: Your Majesty sent you to supervise me, you must have the awareness of an "instructor" and stand up straight.
Immediately, he shouted: This official is a foreign minister after all, and it is not convenient for him to meet the concubine in private. This young master is responsible for supervising this official and is in accordance with His Majesty's will.
His words were said to Lang'er on the surface, but in fact, they were to Concubine Chen inside.
After a few seconds of silence, Concubine Chen's voice came from the room: Then wait outside.
Standing far away... Xu Qi'an waved his hand.
The little eunuch retreated obediently to the distance.
Standing in the yard, Xu Qi'an pretended to tidy up his appearance, and actually took advantage of this short time to weigh the pros and cons and guess what would happen next.
If I just thanked me, there was no need to hold everyone back. In other words, what Concubine Chen said to me would not be heard by outsiders.
I asked my young father-in-law to stand farther, which was a compromise with Concubine Chen. The advantage of standing far away was that he could not hear the conversation between me and Concubine, and could clearly see our every move in the house.
This prevented Concubine Chen from pretending to be an eagle and eating a chicken, but actually falsely accusing me of bullying the concubine... Although this operation is a bit rough, I cannot help but beware.
After thinking, he entered the room and saw Concubine Chen sitting upright in a soft and beautiful palace outfit.
This was the second time Xu Qi'an saw Concubine Chen. The last time was the ancestor worship ceremony at the end of last year. He shouted at the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen, and then pretended to be loyal and saw the women of the emperor up close.
Concubine Chen has the same face shape as Lin'an, with a standard oval face, and her eyebrows, lips and nose are all very beautiful.
Judging from her appearance alone, Concubine Chen is slightly worse than the queen, but her temperament is dignified and gentle, and her affinity is stronger than that of the queen.
However, the gorgeous embroidered dresses and the complicated and expensive jewelry on their heads destroyed her affinity.
Among the women Xu Qi'an has seen, only Lin'an can control luxurious jewelry and clothes. The more luxurious she is, the stronger her charm is.
It’s like many girls are very beautiful when they don’t dress up, but once they wear heavy makeup, they look vulgar.Lin'an is the kind of woman who looks more beautiful the more beautiful the dress.
The mother and daughter are not similar at this point.
This morning, Lord Xu must have heard of the deposed queen in the court.
Concubine Chen's voice is less crisp than the girl's crispness and more gentle as a mature woman, making people feel like spring breeze.
It is known that the low-level job is known.Xu Qi'an nodded concisely.
What happened to Mr. Xu when he came to my Jingxiu Palace?
There are still some doubts in this case.
Concubine Chen said oh, smiling: What are the doubts?
This... is a humble job and has no clue yet.
The room was quiet for a short time. Concubine Chen stared at Xu Qi'an for a long time, and her smile gradually calmed down. Soon, it was like a cold frost, saying word by word:
You are lying!
These three words were like a heavy hammer hitting Xu Qi'an's heart, or like a thunder blew in his ears.
How did she know I was lying? Li Guang shot out uncontrollably in his eyes, his breathing was rapid, but he restrained all his emotions at the next moment and said in a daze:
What does the Empress mean?
You can use the qi-seeing technique to see others, and others can also use the qi-seeing technique to see you.
Concubine Chen picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and sighed: I invite you here, just to test it, but your lies just made me unable to be lucky.Lord Xu is keen. No matter how exquisite the cases in the world are, they are all tricks for you.
Is Concubine Chen a sorcerer?!This is impossible.
Why did she confess to me? Isn’t she afraid that I will tell Emperor Jing of Yuan?
What was her purpose inviting me here?
All kinds of thoughts flashed and turned into a sigh: Empress, why bother?I can pretend not to know.
Then look back to find Wei Gong and Huaiqing to deal with you... Xu Qi'an added in his heart.
At this point, the two of them made a frank statement.
Concubine Chen's calmness surprised Xu Qi'an. He knew that this was definitely not a good thing.
When did you find out, just now?Concubine Chen took another sip of tea, calmly as if chatting.
Yes, I saw that Lang'er was pretending.
But I had some doubts before, let's talk about it.Concubine Chen smiled.
Xu Qi'an pondered: When I reviewed the story of the Fufei case, I really had many doubts. How could the Empress put the 100-day spring gift from the queen on the table for no reason? After all, this is the harem. Isn't I afraid that the prince will be drunk with aphrodisiac wine?This doesn't fit your cautious style.
On that day, Huaiqing talked to him about the experience of the queen being instigated to the cold palace, and mentioned Concubine Chen's emphasis on the position of prince and his narrow-minded and cautious style.Xu Qi'an had this doubt.
He continued: Although the queen can bribe Huang Xiaorou to set up a plan for the prince, how can she guarantee that the prince will definitely go to Qingfeng Palace?And you are the prince's biological mother, and you know that your son is better than your mother. You know that he has thoughts about Concubine Fu, so you sent Huang Xiaorou to wait for the rabbit halfway... It would be more reasonable to think about it this way.
After that, from Huang Xiaorou's body being discovered, to Bei Zhi finding clues and pointing to the queen, the traces of artificial push were too obvious.But if Huang Xiaorou disappeared, it would not be able to achieve your goal of framed the queen.
Of course, I hadn't reacted at that time, and I still felt that the queen was the most suspicious.What I can't understand is why you sent someone to tear up the income and expenditure booklet of the Imperial Pharmacy, which should be the most favorable evidence to identify the queen.Not only did he do this, he also exposed himself.
Concubine Chen shook her head. It was not an unnecessary move. It was originally the evidence I deliberately left behind. If the organizer of the case was not you, it would be one of the most useful evidence to attack the queen.
But your resurrection from the dead is completely beyond my expectations. If Huang Xiaorou's body and the booklet of the Imperial Pharmacy were discovered at the same time, the traces of guidance would be too heavy.I was afraid that you would see something, so I reported it to Your Majesty directly, so I sent someone to tear the booklet.
So you were confused at the time, but you didn't insist that the queen was wronged.Ha, if Your Majesty knew about this in advance, the effect of the Japanese Palace's cry yesterday would be greatly reduced.
Then, let me learn about the progress of the case from Lin'an, and I will put pressure on Your Majesty and send someone to assassinate you.As long as you die, the queen confesses guilty, all this will be perfect.
Xu Qi'an nodded slowly. This morning he felt that the queen was the biggest suspect in assassination and was ruthless in his heart to divorce Huaiqing.When he knew that Wei Yuan told him that the queen had pleaded guilty, he felt that there was something else in the case.
It turns out that the person who wanted to kill me was Concubine Chen. Okay, there is nothing to say. I want to divorce Lin'an.
There are two questions about Beiyi. I wonder if the Empress can answer it?
Let's hear it.Concubine Chen said lightly.
The prince is already the prince, why does the empress still want to do this?
Concubine Chen smiled, her smile was very complicated, as if she was mocking Xu Qi'an, or as if she was mocking herself:
The prince is the prince after all. If he does not ascend the throne in one day, there is a possibility of changing his master.The queen has always been the queen, and the fourth prince will always be the legitimate son.What if I tell you, what Your Majesty originally intended was the Fourth Prince?If Your Majesty hadn't known that the Queen didn't love him at all, the Fourth Prince would have been the crown prince.
Xu Qi'an keenly discovered that when Concubine Chen said this, she had both pleasure and resentment in her eyes.
But even so, after many years, the position of the prince has not changed. Isn’t the Empress too worried?
What do you know about the affairs of the court?
Concubine Chen sneered: With Wei Yuan here, the fourth prince's chance of winning will always be greater than my son.Wei Yuan always thought of holding the court alone and sweeping away the serious problems. If he wanted to show his ambitions, he would definitely push the fourth prince to the throne.
I, a woman, could not beat Wei Yuan, and could only work hard from the queen.The queen is the lord of the harem, and her mother is in the world, and she is the highest honor for a woman.This palace is also a woman, and she also jealous of the position of the queen.
Xu Qi'an knew Wei Yuan's ambitions and knew that Concubine Chen was telling the truth.
The last question is, who is behind the Empress?Xu Qi'an asked.
Concubine Chen was obviously stunned. She was silent for a long time and shook her head and laughed: I am more and more impressed by you. It seems that Lin'an accidentally dug a treasure.
How do you be sure that there is someone behind me?
Xu Qi'an's eyes drooped, looking at his toes, thinking: If the Empress had known what the uncle had done for a long time, why did she endure it for so long and not take action until now.
If the Empress only learned about the relationship between the uncle and Huang Xiaorou recently, then who told the Empress? It would definitely not be Huang Xiaorou.She can endure for so many years, and for no reason, she will not suddenly change and insist on revealing it to you.Among them, there must be someone who connects the bridge and sets the line.
In addition, the Empress knew that Bei Zhi was lying, and Si Tianjian’s qi-seeking technique was not something that ordinary people could use.Bei Zhi just guessed another possibility.
Xu Qi'an raised his head and stared at Concubine Chen's beautiful face. Your target is the queen, and the people or forces behind you are the Duke of Wei.
Concubine Chen had a smile on her face, she squinted her eyes, looked at Xu Qi'an for a long time, and suddenly said: Lord Xu, what do you think, Lin'an?
Very Nineth... Xu Qi'an felt moved and did not answer.
The prince told me that Lin'an was at the age of getting married, and I kept a secret. Then I found that since she met you, she came to Jingxiu Palace, the person she talked about the most was you.
Concubine Chen is very good at temptation: This palace has also experienced the age of a girl who is in love with her.I heard that Lord Xu will be awarded a title soon. Although the viscount is not big, it means that you have entered the aristocratic class.
This palace can promise you that within three years, you will be able to further your title and marry Lin'an to you.
The naked win over is also the reason why Concubine Chen and him are frank.
Xu Qi'an was a little hesitant.
Concubine Chen took advantage of the victory and pursued: Even if you know the secret, it is impossible to identify this palace. Lang'er was in poor health recently and had a sudden illness, and the imperial physician was not rescued.What does Lord Xu think of this result?
How could the innocent and lovely Lin'an have a mother like you? She wants to fool me when she draws a big cake... Xu Qi'an pondered: Three years have been too long, who knows whether the imperial concubine is fooling her job.
Concubine Chen frowned. As long as two years are the matter of title, the matter of being granted is of great significance.You should be clear about this.
This is not what it means to be a humble official.
Xu Qian waved his hand and showed a shy smile: I want to say that it takes three years to get married, but can I get married first?
Chapter 26: Xu Qi'an: I've made a contribution again
Are you playing tricks on this palace?
Han Bing climbed up Chen Guifei's face little by little, her expression, her eyes, and her tone were all cold.
Look, Xu Qi'an shrugged and sneered: No matter how nice the person who paints big cakes sounds, as long as he makes real efforts, he will immediately turn his back.
Fortunately, you didn't agree, otherwise I would rather be sad in Lin'an than destroy you.
Concubine Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. When she put it down, her face had returned to normal. The biggest flaw in this palace was Lang'er. As long as she was gone, there would be no evidence of death.
And the tall building of Fengqi Palace is about to collapse in a blink of an eye.The so-called good birds choose trees to live on, and Master Xu is a smart person. You know how to choose.
Xu Qian nodded in agreement: The prince is still the prince, and the queen is about to change her throne, and the empress promised to marry Lin'an to me... So I chose Duke Wei.
Concubine Chen's face suddenly stopped, and her hand holding the teacup exerted a little force. It took a long time to resist the urge to splash the hot tea on the boy's face or throw the cup.
So, Lord Xu is planning to take Lang'er away from Jingxiu Palace and kill me?
Concubine Chen stared at Xu Qi'an with her beautiful eyes. The atmosphere in the house dropped to freezing point, and an invisible murderous intent enveloped Xu Qi'an.
Xu Baipiao, who is in the God Refining Realm, did not capture the scene of the enemy's attack, but the instinct of the seventh-grade warrior is instilling a signal into him: Danger!
If she insists on taking Lang'er away, she will be burned with Concubine Chen. In this way, she will be anxious and no longer worry about this being the harem. If she attacks me, my life will not be guaranteed. Although there is Monk Shenshu here, Shenshu is my last trump card... Xu Qi'an sneered, straightened his back, with disdain between his eyebrows and eyes:
On that day, Xu Qi'an, faced tens of thousands of rebels, fought alone, killing thousands of enemies, and not falling to death.The Empress thinks, I will be afraid of a mere threat?
I am not afraid of death, so why do I fear it by death?
I am not afraid of death, but why do I fear death... Concubine Chen had obvious surprise in her eyes and nodded slowly. Well, Lord Xu is indeed a hero, and he fell into your hands...
The imperial concubine tightened the teacup in her hand, as if she was about to throw the cup as a symbol.
Suddenly, Xu Qi'an said loudly: But I am sincere to Lin'an and I don't want to see her sad.I can think that what happened today has not happened.
Even if I want to expose the imperial concubine, I have to be able to walk out of Jingxiu Palace... Xu Qi'an thought regretfully.
Concubine Chen stared at him for a moment, put down the teacup, and nodded with satisfaction: You didn't lie, it seems that you are indeed sincere to Lin'an.Since that is the case, why is Lord Xu unwilling to surrender?
Do you think I am a fool? I will die if I surrender to you. The only thing I can rely on in the capital is Wei Yuan, and Huaiqing can only be considered half. As for Lin'an, she, a princess with no power and power, cannot protect me at all.
Empress, raising a scholar is not an empty promise, but a practical action.I am loyal to Duke Wei because Duke Wei treats me with sincerity and I trust him.
After saying that, Xu Qi'an turned sideways, glanced at the little father-in-law outside the courtyard, and said: "I am helpless to the Empress, but I was thinking about how the Empress can't do anything to me."
Once there is no idea of burning all the jades and stones, then Concubine Chen will not be able to make things difficult for him anymore.
Although the young master is a minion, he is now the eyes of Emperor Jing of Yuan and can be regarded as surveillance.Everything that happened here will be conveyed to Emperor Jing of Yuan word for word.
Unless Concubine Chen kills him directly, any conspiracy and frame-up will be useless. The young father-in-law can testify for Xu Qi'an.
This is why Xu Qi'an insisted on keeping his young father-in-law.
Concubine Chen looked at him deeply, her beautiful eyes closed slightly, this palace is exhausted, you should retreat... The gate of Jingxiu Palace will always be open for you.
Retired from a humble position.
Xu Qi'an bowed and left the room.
When the young father-in-law in the yard saw him coming out, he immediately came up and asked: Lord Xu, what did the imperial concubine tell you?
Don't ask, if you ask, you won't be protected.Xu Qian said angrily.
The little father-in-law's face changed slightly.
When I walked to the outer courtyard, Lin'an sat in the pavilion, holding his chin with one hand and playing with the teacup with the other, and was bored.
There are two palace maids standing beside him.
When she saw Xu Qi'an, her round face smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her peach blossom eyes became lively. She waved her hand and said in a sweet voice:
Dog slave, come here quickly.
The dog slave shouted without any momentum, and it sounded like acting cute and coquettish.
Xu Qi'an took a deep breath, suppressed his surging emotions, and smiled as if nothing had happened: Your Highness, the humble position has come out.
Lin'an immediately asked: What did your mother say to you?
The Empress said that Your Highness is almost at the age of getting married. She asked if there were any suitable candidates for the job and recommended several young talents to her.She can help His Highness find her future husband.
Lin'an was stunned for a moment, Hongxia quietly climbed up her face and said suspiciously: Will the mother tell you this?
...Hey, why don’t you get stuck? When did you become smarter? I want to recommend myself next.Xu Qian had no choice but to say helplessly:
Hu Zhi is just kidding.
The mount willow eyebrows are upside down: Dog slave, you dare to tease me.
He pinched his waist and stared at him.
Huye is still a child and doesn’t understand what teasing is.
After framing, he spat, and thought Xu Qi'an's words were interesting and giggled, like a little hen.
Her smile is both innocent and charming, like a beautiful scenery.
Xu Qi'an laughed, and sighed in his heart.
Previously, his idea was to pretend not to know, leave Jingxiu Palace first, and then tell Wei Yuan about his discovery, so that Wei Yuan could quickly capture Lang'er and catch Concubine Chen off guard.
But because of Lin'an, he couldn't help but hesitate. Although he calmed down, he would still expose Concubine Chen without hesitation.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Chen is not at a low level. It can be expected that as soon as he left, Lang'er will die of illness.In this way, Concubine Chen will have no more flaws.
Concubine Chen is a qualified concubine... Such a stupid girl in Lin'an, she doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a disaster to grow up in the palace walls.
Looking back at Concubine Chen’s operation just now, she was really smart and summoned him to test it out without any hesitation.As a result, she really discovered the clue.
The subsequent frank statement seemed to be heart-to-heart, but in fact she was fearless because she knew that as long as Lang'er was solved, she would have no flaws, and Xu Qi'an could not take Lang'er away at all, unless she didn't want to live.
Since I have been discovered, I might as well say it generously and win my trust... and then throw out my beautiful daughter as bait. If I were a lustful person, I might have been baited at that time...
I was protected by Monk Shenshu, and I might not die on the spot, but I also exposed myself. Emperor Yuan Jing, the dog, would definitely seal me in Sangbo, but the ending still remained unchanged, and both jade and stones were burned.
After leaving Jingxiu Palace, Xu Qi'an said that there was still a priority and refused the invitation to frame Gozi chess.
My little father-in-law, I have already handled the matter in the palace. Later, when you report to Your Majesty, you can say some things, but some things that you cannot say. I will give you a few words here.Xu Qi'an said in a deep voice.
When the little eunuch heard this, he put on a serious gesture, Lord Xu asked.
You must tell the Emperor everything about Jingxiu Palace.You have to say this: After asking the palace maid Lang'er of Jingxiu Palace, Lord Xu looked extremely ugly, and seemed to not want to stay any longer and didn't even drink tea.
But before Lord Xu left Jingxiu Palace, he was suddenly kept by the Imperial Concubine and invited him to the backyard... The Imperial Concubine held everyone away and said something to Lord Xu in the room for a long time.The slaves were left in the yard and were not allowed to enter. Although they could see the two in the room, they could not hear what they were saying.
After the conversation, Lord Xu left the palace with great worries.
After Xu Qi'an finished speaking, he took out five taels of silver notes from his arms and the five taels fed from the eunuchs guarding the gate of Jingxiu Palace, a total of ten taels, and handed them to his father-in-law without any fireworks.
The young master waved his hand while opening his arms: Lord Xu, you can't do it.
After collecting the money, he carefully savored Xu Qi'an's words and realized that there was no big problem. Then he nodded: OK, I will do it.
Xu Qi'an immediately left the palace, borrowed his horse from Huaiqing, who was held by Yulin Guard, and rushed back to the Kanren Yamen with a quick horse.
After being reported by the guards, he entered Haoqi Tower and came to the tea room on the seventh floor to meet guests.
Wei Yuan was not in the tea room, but in the lookout table connected to the tea room. He was sitting on a large chair with his hair loose, and a black-clothed official was holding a comb, combing his hair.
Wei Yuan waved, came over and combed his hair.
The black-clothed official handed the comb to Xu Qi'an with tactful thoughts and turned around and left the tea room.
Why did Mr. Wei comb his hair at this time?
Xu Qi'an held the comb his hair, went from head to bottom, without knotting it, and combing it to the end, thinking that he was quite elegant.
Hair in Buddhism means strands of trouble.Wei Yuan bathed in the sun, squinted his eyes, and his voice was gentle:
Once you comb your hair, the past will be written off in one stroke.
What's the meaning?
Wei Yuan today is a little strange. What does the past mean to be written off?
It’s not interesting to comb your hair, so please press the head for Duke Wei.Xu Qi'an said.
Wei Yuan smiled: Try it!
Xu Qi'an put the comb in his arms, spread his five fingers, pressed Wei Yuan's head, and gently pressed the acupoints.
Wei Yuan's breathing gradually slowed down, and the warm sunlight shone on the two of them. Here, the scenery was beautiful. Xu Qi'an squinted his eyes and looked at him, feeling that he had returned to the world and was far away from the intrigues in the palace.
not bad.Wei Yuan said with a smile.
Ah, this is the magical skill of a barber shop. I will make you a shampoo chair... Xu Qi'an coughed and said: I have something to report.
explain.
Bei Zhi has found out who is behind the scenes.
Wei Yuan opened his eyes and had not spoken for a long time.
It’s Concubine Chen!Xu Qi'an whispered: I went to Jingxiu Palace to investigate the case today and found that the palace maid Lang'er around her was the one who tore up the booklet of the Imperial Pharmacy...
He immediately told Wei Yuan everything about his discovery and the recruitment of Concubine Chen.
Wei Yuan patted his hand, signaled him to stop, got up and walked to the edge of the observation deck, pressed his hands on the guardrail, and looked into the distance. Who do you think is the power behind Concubine Chen?
How do I know... Xu Qi'an shook his head: It may be related to Si Tianjian.
This was what he thought about from the existence of the Qi-seeking Technique.
Not Si Tianjian.Wei Yuan shook his head, his tone of confidence.
It’s not Si Tianjian... Xu Qi'an reacted after a few seconds and said in surprise: Duke Wei, do you know that Concubine Chen is plotting against the Queen and you?
At first, she was cruel and dragged the prince into the water... After this case was handed over to you, I didn't continue to pay attention.Until this morning, I learned that the Queen had pleaded guilty and after hearing you talk about the whole story of the case, I guessed it was Concubine Chen.
...Xu Qi'an stared at his back for a long time. He used to think that Wei Yuan and Taoist Master Jinlian were both old silver coins. Now he found that Taoist Master Jinlian was quite pure and not as deep as Wei Yuan.
If it is not Si Tianjian, how could Concubine Chen use the Qi-seeing technique? Who else can do the Qi-seeing technique except Si Tianjian?
Xu Qi'an's heart moved, Mr. Wei, I remembered something.
A third-grade sorcerer who appeared in the Yunzhou case?Wei Yuan asked back.
Mr. Wei is extremely wise... Xu Qi'an is convinced.
I have also checked this person, but I haven't found it. Do you know what the third-grade sorcerer in Si Tianjian is called?Wei Yuan asked.
Tianji Master.Xu Qi'an heard from the king of tyrants.
The Tianji Master can block Tianji and erase all his existence and traces left by him. His parents will forget him, his wives and children will forget him, and all the written records he left will disappear.This is Tianji Master.
In addition, Tianjima can also tamper with other people's impression of him and leave vague memories in his heart, but he cannot completely recall it.
Wei Yuan looked around: During the Sangbo case, you had checked the information of the first surveillance officer, but there was no record of any historical material, and there was no word in just a few words.You should know that Emperor Wuzong was able to change history, but he could not stop the mouths of future generations, nor could he stop unofficial history.
It was the surveillance officer who erased all the information of the first surveillance officer, as if he had never existed.Even I often mistakenly think that the sect is the founder of Sitianjian and the creator of the sorcerer system.
Then, due to the fragmentation caused by the historical vacancy, I suddenly remembered that there was another first-generation supervisor.
How can I check this?Xu Qian was shocked.
He realized once again that the top powerhouses in this world were so terrible.
If you want to investigate, you have to rely on supervision.Wei Yuan said.
It makes sense, only magic can defeat magic, and Dad Wei’s idea is not wrong... Xu Qi'an nodded secretly.
But the surveillance refused.Wei Yuan sighed.
This is really an expected answer. There are many secrets in Si Tianjian. The supervisor is like an old man who keeps a secret... Xu Qian pursed his lips and asked in a curious tone:
Can Duke Wei know what the first and second grades of the warlock are called?
Wei Yuan shook his head, I have never dealt with the supervisor. Dafeng is like a game of chess. He is a chess player, and I am a chess player. We often have conflicts due to different ideas.
This is the first time Wei Yuan talked about such high-end content with Xu Qi'an.
Perhaps in Wei Yuan’s heart, surveillance is his biggest political enemy?Xu Qi'an tentatively said: Duke Wei is preparing to save the queen.
It remains to be considered whether the country's uncle is successful or not. Your Majesty likes to check and balance, and he will also think that if the queen is abolished, the prince will have no rivals. However, Your Majesty remembered some unhappy things and may not have such a calm mind unless he can doubt Concubine Chen...
The queen was still too soft and did not discuss with me in advance when she took this step.Wei Yuan's voice was helpless.
Mr. Wei’s subtext is: Queen, are you just a pig teammate?
Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up, knowing that the preparations he had made before leaving the palace were not in vain, or that he might have made a contribution.
Duke Wei, he was guilty of low-level duties and just took his own decision.
Wei Yuan turned around and frowned: What's the matter?
